Facebook, Flipboard, and NFL apps coming to Windows 8

Microsoft’s Windows 8 app store has yet to be a juggernaut of variety and applications. We had previously heard that the company mentioned this holiday season as a goal date to bring a majority of popular apps to the platform. Yesterday at Build 2013 in San Francisco, Microsoft’s loveable CEO Steve Ballmer stated that Facebook, Flipboard, and NFL apps will be arriving soon.

The statement “soon” could mean anything from the next few weeks to the next few months, so we don’t suggest holding you breathe for the apps to show up in the Windows Store. Beyond Steve Ballmer’s quick statement at the Build event, no further information about these applications are available.

For the latest information on Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system and forthcoming apps, stay tuned to Windows Phone Central.

well last year it was June 20th when they announced wp 8 to the world. now of course that time frame is out of the question this year, but many are saying that they would like to move that event to sometime in October or maybe even September?

I don't have my hopes high for that one. I don't remember the technical details, but what I do remember is that the official version is going to be crap, sorta like a wrapper around the mobile YouTube website. :/

I agree, but it's a bit glitchy I find and feels slow... I hope they do something about that when they drop the beta. It is quite glorious, and MS also should take note in their own peoples hub, for photos to make it take the space like they did with the fb beta :)
